Because the bots are shrieking and frothing at the mouth with the view that Palin is too inexperienced to be VP, but never once let spilled a drop about obama's lack of experience. The hypocrisy is too much.

What's awful about her, Philly? Aside from the fact of couse that she's an evil evil Republican?
Evil Republican? Oh, I'm sorry I think you have me confused with a Democrat. Try again. Really, not everyone who questions this choice is a liberal with an agenda. Some of us think for ourselves and don't step right into line with the rest of the party, be it Dems or Republicans.
What's awful if she becomes POTUS? Hmm...she's governor of a state of 800,000 and has only been for 1.5 years. She has no foreign policy experience and living near Russia and Canada doesn't count. I don't agree with her stance on stem cell research or her creationism should be taught in school views. And the biggie....she might be POTUS! And out of all the possible experienced candidates McCain could of picked he picked her? Are you kidding me? If he wanted a woman there are more experienced women than her too! That's why she's an awful pick. There were a hell of a lot better choices than her, but he picked her to pander for votes.
(and sorry for the late reply. My keyboard is f**ked)
It's far from the only subject covered on that link, but I guess this is as good a place as any to offer a thought about one reality referred to there, namely, the military service of Palin's son. If the Rep. ticket wins, I'd think it would be unquestionably necessary to pull him out of Iraq, or not send him in the first place if he had not yet been deployed. It's for the same reason the Brits nixed the idea of assigning Prince Harry to Afghanistan. It would be a bad idea to take a chance, however slim, on having the son of the U.S. vice pres. fall into enemy hands and be used for blackmail. More generally, it's the same idea as why the medical profession considers it unethical for doctors to treat their own families: It's important to keep personal interest out of critical decisions.
Why the comparison between these two? I assume it has to do with the issue of experience. Neither has the experience in public office that you usually see with pres. and vice pres. candidates. Despite occupying different places on their parties' tickets, they have that shortage of experience in common.
"Foreign Relations experience =Governor of state that borders two foreign countries (Canada and Russia)"
WTF foreign relations experience did she gain by her state bordering 2 countries, I doubt she had anything to do, in an official capacity with either one.

LOL, the republicans know what a joke of a pick she was. Why didn't McCain pick Senator Hutchinson from texas?
"She's not prepared to be governor; how can she be prepared to be vice president or president?" said state Senate President Lyda Green, a Wasilla Republican who told the Anchorage Daily News that she at first thought news of Palin's selection was a joke.
"I think John McCain won the state of Alaska but lost the nation," said state Sen. Hollis French, an Anchorage Democrat. "I think her inexperience is going to cause many, many voters to think twice before voting for him."
